The Cabin by Natasha Preston

There may only be one killer, but no one is innocent in this new thriller from Natasha Preston, author of The Cellar and Awake.

When
Mackenzie treks to a secluded cabin in the woods with six friends, she
expects a fun weekend of partying, drinking, and hookups. But when they
wake to find two of their own dead and covered in blood, it's clear
there's a killer among them.

As the police try to unravel the
case, Mackenzie launches her own investigation. Before long secrets
start to emerge, revealing a sinister web of sins among the original
seven friends. The killer is still free. Every one of them is a suspect.
And Mackenzie starts to realize that no one is innocent… @goodreads

MY REVIEW:

1 STAR

They think they're invincible. They think they can do and say whatever they want.They think there are no consequences. They've left me no choice.It's time for them to pay for their sins.

From
that prologue and the blurb, I thought I was going to love this book.
It sounded like a B scary movie and I love those. As most of my friends
on goodreads know, I very rarely 1 star a book, some 2 stars, but I
always try to pick books I think I will like, but I missed the mark on
this one.

I liked a couple of the character but even they started to get on my nerves.

Mackenzie,
Aaron, Courtney, Megan, Kyle, Josh and Blake are all going out to
Josh's cabin to hang out for a couple of days. They were all still sort
of reeling over losing two of their best friends (Gigi and Tilly) in a
car accident several months ago.

I was thinking, a cabin in the woods with a killer! Yes! NO..

There
was a murder in the cabin but everything else takes place outside the
cabin. After the cops came and took the bodies away, everyone went back
to their lives. All of them were scarred even more than before.

Mackenzie
decides to do a little investigating herself. She doesn't want to
believe that anyone she knows or cares about killed others they cared
about! Mackenzie does start to unravel all kinds of crazy stories. It
seems her friends have lots of secrets.

When I find out the
reasons behind the killings I had a hard time trying to figure out what I
was feeling. On the one hand, I can see how the person would want to
kill them. And I say that only because of the way there was some mocking
going on with certain deaths. But it still wasn't all that exciting for
me. And I so very much wanted to like this book!!! I think it was more
of the - YOU DID IT - NO YOU DID IT - WAIT GO BACK, YOU DID IT.

The
book did remind me of some books I read and loved as a child so don't
let anyone's review deter you from reading a book. You might just find
your own gem!
